esky boi Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Take the head off and spray water through all the gallerys at a reasonable pressure (preferably with the rest of the engine apart, but doesnt really matter I spose) A waterblaster would work best, otherwise a garden hose with your thumb over the end will work sweet.

two_days_late Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 get a 2 litre coke bottle, half fill it with water, then hold the neck of the coke bottle so its submerged in the water just under your radiator cap, leave it there for a while and all the shit floats out into the bottle. might work better if you quickly start and stop the car. dunno just what im told works. east coast styles.

Toucan Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Whip the frost plugs out an hose that out too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I don't do any of that. I buy a rad flush. Pour it into my rad at the store and drive home. Then I pull off the top rad hose and stick the garden hose into the rad. and flush out all the shit. Replace with water and antifreeze to prevent corrosion from happening again.

Ned Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 bang on! you could also read fire hose instead of garden hose! works well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 i agree with rt's one but if the engine is out then reverse flush the bugger , dont really need much pressure just flush from bottom hose and bottom of raditator till water goes clear , shit ive done it enough i should know haha . and yea get a GOOD quality coolant not the $5 stuff you buy at my work (supercheap) does more harm then good that stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
